Categories of restraints. Three general categories of restraints existâphysical restraint, chemical restraint, and seclusion. Physical restraint. Physical restraint, the most frequently used type, is a specific. intervention or device that prevents the patient from moving freely or restricts normal access to the patientâs own body.
